      Thanks Yogesh.  One more question.  Is there some "trick" to entering more than one DVD mount point in the SUM screen?  The SUM 1.0 SP16 guide indicates that entering more than one is possible, but the SUM screen does not seem to allow entry of more than one, even though there are multiple lines available on the screen.

      I dont think you can add additional lines but you can try manually typing in to empty lines there and see.

      Yes, that is the actual problem, it is not possible to type anything into any of the fields of the  already provided additional lines.  I tried to enter the DVD Type, Description, and the Mount Point, but nothing can be entered into those fields, even though they appear to be open for entry.

      Hello Yogesh Patel,

      We are planning to upgrade SolMan 7.1 to 7.2
      I have a doubt, as we are keeping the DB (oracle) as it is. Is TREX installation mandatory for that.
      Also, what would happen if we do not install TREX?

      -regards,
      Nitin Soni

      But as far I know you can upgrade TREX.

      Question you need to ask is - What will happen to Indexes created by TREX?

      Thanks

      I ran into the same error about a missing “NO_INFO” file, during an EHP8 upgrade on ERP, using SUM SP19 PL4.  Note 2314382 talks about this error, but the resolution did not resolve my error.  Since the error is referring to a non critical file that is missing, I simply created an empty “NO_INFO” file in the profile directory, and then repeated the failed step.

      My EHP8 upgrade process is still active currently, so I cannot confirm that this work-around did not cause other issues, but the SUM process has proceeded on through several other steps, so I am hopeful that the issue has been bypassed.  The note below may help others with a similar error, however.

      Yep i have seen it, it did not help, as it mentioned by Russel ;). I mean much probably there was an issue with initial distributed installation….

       

      In case somebody get the same error.
      I created the file with touch command (the same like Russel did), upgrade successfully  finished, with no issues, only satellite  ABAP application servers kernel was not updated, so I did it manually later on.

       

      Will be good to know what exactly is executed on this phase.

      I guess sapcpe binaries copy should be executed on this step.

      I have added the BI_MMR component in the queue to update to sp19 and I am facing issues in Deploy Shadow instance phase and looks like the issue is due to this package and wondering whether I can remove the package from the queue without reverting the SUM and start over again.
